excessive external links contrary to Wikipedia guidelines edit

Guidelines for external links can be found at WP:EL. Specific guidelines concerning non-English links is at WP:NONENGEL, concerning links primarily designed to sell products at WP:ELNO, and concerning dead external links at WP:ELDEAD. I removed external links that did not follow the guidelines with an edit summary explaining my criteria. They were restored with no justifications so I am going to remove them again with an edit summary inviting discussion here. Gab4gab (talk) 18:40, 16 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

To be clear each of the links were removed for one of the following three reasons:
  • The page was not in English. This is the English Wikipedia. Our guideline says to avoid including external links that don't use the English language.
  • The page was primarily designed to sell products. Our guideline says to avoid including external links that are selling things. Wikipedia is not to be used for promotion.
  • The page did not load. The server IP address could not be found. Our guildline says to improve or remove dead links.
We do not seek to include every link available related to a subject. We do not use Wikipedia to promote a person, organization or product. Gab4gab (talk) 12:40, 17 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
